Spawni Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Not sure if this is the right forum to post it but worth a try. Ok DC worked without any problems before i formatted and installed Xp with SP2 now when i enter a hub with for example 3000 users in it i only see about 200 of them on the list. The 2nd problem is that when i do a search it gives me the results but it shows all the users as offline and if i do manage to get a download starting it starts at 1kb and then eventually goes down to 0. I'm out of solutions and i dont wanna format again i do not have a firewall running and Xp's firewall is turned off so is the service for it im not running through a router and im on 1mbit adsl and running through a adsl modem and as far as i know i dont think theres a built in router in the modem, and i'm not using a shared internet connection. Anyone ever heard of a similar problem like this? I have disabled several Xp services in services.msc: ati hotkey poller Ati smart automatic updates avg update service avg alert manager: manual computer browser Distributed Link Tracking Client diskeeper Error Reporting Service Help and Support IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service: manual Indexing Service Messenger Net Logon NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing Network DDE Network Location Awareness (NLA) Performance Logs and Alerts Portable Media Serial Number Print Spooler Remote Desktop Help Session Manager Remote Registry Service Server Shell Hardware Detection Smart Card SSDP Discovery Service System Restore Service Themes Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Wireless Zero Configuration WMI Performance Adapter security center Distributed Transaction Coordinator Remote Access Connection Manager But they were disabled in Sp1 as well without causing me any problems and saving me memory Thanks in advance..

cak46 Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Haven't used Direct Connect before. Is your connection to the internet running about the same speed as it was prior to reformat? If your speeds are lousy with Internet/Non-DC software then I'd change the nic settings to 100 mb full duplex or 10mb, half duplex to begin with. May want to try and re-install the DC or obtain the newest version out there and see if that rectifies it if your Inet speeds are ok and just the DC is an issue. Please let us know.

FallowEarth Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Maybe run a traceroute too, see if there's any loss in the first 2 lines, or anywhere for that matter. ie. "tracert google.com" in the command prompt. If there are any losses or high times to the router or modem, ping it a few times to see more accurate results ie. ping -n 50 x.x.x.x (IP of modem/router) maybe reinstall TCP/IP stack, make sure NIC drivers are up to date, firmware is good, etc.....

Spawni Posted May 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hmm the problem is still there im not sure whats wrong everything worked fine in Xp Sp1 but not anymore now with Xp Sp2... I've installed the new Dc as well but still same problem the problem is only on dc it seems, apart from that the speeds and everything else is fine in the browser and etc, Hmm just tried doing ftp transfers on public ftp's and its very very slow around 1-3kbs but no problems with surfing. i tried ftp in passive as well it gets stuck with listing directories List Complete: 3 KB in 21.83 seconds (0.1 KB/s) finally it's done 21 secs for 3kb? Went to device manager and listed hidden devices like you said and got a few new ones O.o in network adapters, Direct Parallel WAN Miniport (IP) WAN Miniport (IP) Packet Scheduler Miniport WAN Miniport (L2TP) WAN Miniport (PPPOE) WAN Miniport (PPTP) Should they be there? Reinstalled my network drivers and ftp transfers are back to good now but dc still the same ... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 From what those look like, they are parts of your network interface (protocols. I'd be careful what I deleted with those. You may want to go into your network settings and disable the Packet Scheduler and/or QoS to see if that helps. Definately sounds like it's an issue with DC only. If you have a frend that has DC, see if he/she can download from your system and how fast it goes (if at all). Have you run spyware removers and an anti-virus check? I noticed you have shut off the services for AVG, which I assume is what you were using for Anti-virus. You can also get to a command prompt then type the command netstat. This will show what ports are open on your computer and/or the ip or name of the connected machine or device. (How many entries are listed?)

Spawni Posted May 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP spawn:epmap 84.1*.13.15*:3071 ESTABLISHED TCP spawn:epmap 84.1*.1*7.2*5:1816 ESTABLISHED TCP spawn:2068 2*2.23.*3.1*:http ESTABLISHED TCP spawn:2179 2*9.11.*7.2*:http ESTABLISHED TCP spawn:2180 3*.11*.1*5.3*:http ESTABLISHED TCP spawn:1026 localhost:1027 ESTABLISHED TCP spawn:1027 localhost:1026 ESTABLISHED The services i disabled for AVG is the updater one which i enable when i update and afterwards i put it back to disabled, no i dont think i have a mate that i can ask to download but when i put downloads in queue it says the user is offline even though i can see the user on the list which is strange. Yea ive done spyware removals nothing found same with antivirus Gonna uninstall QoS and reboot and see if anything changes. thanks Nah the problem still remains :S edited by request.- .s1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Just doing some reading. Do you have DC set to passive mode? If not, you may want to try that or change it to active if it is already passive. Here;s the link for the info. I'm looking thru: http://www.neo-modus.com/?page=Help&categoryID=2#Q9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawni Posted May 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Yea i ran that patch a few days ago and changed it to 100 and ive tried Dc in both passive and active.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Have you tried dropping the speed of your nic to 10mb half duplex? Edit: Look in your event logs (Application and System) to see if something is erroring out when you try to use DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawni Posted May 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Tried doing that now but the problem is still there :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 So... is this problem JUST with dc or is it with regular downloads too? Click this and see what speed you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 28, 2005 CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Could it be the QoS service is still limiting bandwidth? For disabling the QoS Packet Scheduler bandwidth limitation see this link: http://support.earthlink.net/mu/1/psc/img/walkthroughs/windows_XP/6800.psc.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawni Posted May 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 28, 2005 Just with DC i downloaded that file with around 100kbs and i disabled the QoS right when i installed SP2 and limited it to 0 and enabled it and now i uninstalled it and theres no changes.. im really out of solutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cak46 Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 Have you tried one of the older DC clients? Maybe a conflict of some sort with another program you're running resident (in the tray)? Could try shutting down each of the programs in your system tray, testing the download after disabling each one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawni Posted May 29, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 Tried it now but its still the same seems to be a lost cause lol just thank god for bittorrent or i wouldnt be able to download anything good at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hey, just found something....... Check this out: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884020/ I remembered that an address of 126.0.0.1 was listed in your netstat. EDIT: My stupid, did not see the address there, but does DC use a localhost address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
